So I decided to give my car a little bit of tender loving care. I'm not a pro detailer by any means but I did the best I could using some of the advice from the website. So after washing the car, clay barring and meguiar 3 stepping, tyre dressing, rain x-ing, alloy wheel brushing I nipped to the park close to my girlfriends house and snapped some pictures at the entrance.

 

I didn't have my camera so pictures were taken on a mobile phone. It was also getting dark after finishing so hope the pictures show my blood sweat and tears. I will try take some more pictures with my camera in the daylight in the next few days.

 

...and for those southerners - look at the last few photos. Thats what a real cow should look like.

Yeah, it's pollock park Jim....not far from my girlfriends house and the only place nearby I could think of to get some decent photos. I am quite happy with the results but it tooks hours upon hours, especially after having clayed the car, to going over the car another three times with the meguiar steps. Hopefully it lasts.

 

Thanks Jay. Hope the studying has gone well today! The cow in the picture was a calf. The young were coming up to the fence...loving a bit of ear stroking. All i have to say though, is their tongues gross me out man. They are so long.....i got a couple of big licks on the hands....ewwwww

Great work, the Kuro is a sod to keep clean but well worth it B)

 

Not to mention stone chips showing up! I have more chips than the entire McDonalds franchise (no, "their not chips, their fries" efforts). I think my car is ebisu black - is there a difference between it and kuro??? :wacko:

 

Anyway thanks guys! Will try to get some more pictures in better light when I have time but i have the manic street preachers gig tonight :yahoo: so probably not today
